CHANDLER BOULEVARD WORKOUT

The Railroad Right of Way east to west in the
San Fernando Valley has been Chandler Blvd.
I know the RED CAR rode it's rails and I myself
remember freight trains moving though it.

Gone are the RED CARS, gone are the freight trains.
Hello METRO Subway Station. Now, going to the west
is the Orange Line, a concrete busway
with futuristic vehicles.+


buses old
and new




Buswise, I remember sitting on noisy hot tin can buses,
that was when I was young, in the 1950's.

Don't get me wrong, I loved those buses,
and the RED CARS that still were running
from Downtown to Long Beach.

Going towards Burbank this Railway Right of Way
has been turned into a community event.
Families walking, skaters, bicyclers, dogs...

NOHO ART WALKWAY

A Bike and Pedestrian Way
from Vineland east to Clyborn
at the Burbank city line.





NoHo




















Many of the warehouses and
businesses that line the tracks in Noho have various art
painted on the building sides that used to face the tracks,
and they now line this new community walk/bikeway.
